4. | On the new tail/stop lamp assembly, the wires and socket terminals are not installed in the four-way socket housing. Refer to the original lamp removed in Step 3, and observe which cavity contains which wires. The cavities are numbered on the face of the secondary lock. The blue, red/yellow and black wires and terminals must be installed into the same cavities in the socket housing of the new lamp as follows: a. See Figure 2. On the secondary lock (2) side of the socket housing (1), position the socket terminal (5) with the slot (6) and crimp tails (7) facing up (in the same direction as the button (3) on the top of the socket housing). b. Insert the terminal into the correct cavity 1, 2, 3 or 4 (4) until it snaps into place with an audible "click". c. Gently tug on wire ends to verify that all terminals are locked. d. Rotate the hinged secondary lock inward until tabs fully engage latches on both sides of connector. NOTE If the terminal must be removed and reinstalled, refer to the MULTILOCK ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS section of the appropriate Service Manual. Fill pin cavities in the circuit board with dielectric grease from the packet in the kit before assembling connector halves. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
5. | Connect the socket housing on the new tail/stop lamp assembly to the four-way pin housing in the circuit board. NOTE Do not over-tighten screws. Over-tightening the screws can crack the tail/stop lamp lens or scratch the fender paint. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
6. | Install the tail/stop lamp to the vehicle. Alternately tighten the screws to 2.3–2.7 N·m (20–24 in-lbs). NOTE See Figure 1. Lamp assembly (1) attaches as shown on full fender models. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
NOTICE Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery terminal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals. (00216a) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7. | Verify that the ignition/ light key switch is in the OFF position. Models WITH main fuse: Refer to the Owner's Manual and follow the instructions to install the main fuse. Models WITHOUT main fuse: Connect the negative battery cable per the instructions in the Owner's Manual. Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or corrosion retardant material to battery terminals. Refer to the Owner's Manual, and follow the instructions to install the seat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
